Simple game, but with a very satisfying gameplay. I think part of the reason is the sound. It feels good to fire that gattling! Good job.

Thank you for the kind words :) I was really going back and forth on the gatling sound, bringing in several different sound files and not being happy with them. I ended up with “MP5_Burst - Shot - Short - Urban_Exterior” from SoundMorph via Sonniss’ free GDC pack. Yes, it’s really a submachine gun sound. Since it’s the sound you will hear all game it is important that it is not too sharp, unobtrusive yet packs a satisfying punch. I think it helps that I randomly vary its pitch also.
